NYC sketch crawl

This was a big leap for me, as a newbie I certainly have not sketched in public and the mere thought terrorized me - but - DH was in NYC and I headed in Friday to spend the weekend. I knew this was it - time to get out and sketch with abandon. Knowing my idol Laura (laurelines) was in Chinatown sketching I fancied myself on a sketch crawl. I packed my new sketchbook and pens/pencils/WC and took off. This is my first sketch, but taken from postcards as I practice and dream and created a first page for the trip journal.

Nothing to be "disappointed" about. Your bridge is spot on and lady liberty is probably smiling right now! Keep it up. Art is not a true/false question and neither are your results. You're not pulling a lever or screwing a nut on to bolt over and over, you are creating something. In my opinion, you should be quite proud.

Sandy -- your work is stupendous -- and you haven't a thing to be concerned about!! GORGEOUS work! As a native New Yorker -- it was great fun to 'see the sights' again -- thanks too for the walk down memory lane!

I've only been to NYC twice but just love it. You sketched MY NY! I love adventures and sounds like yours was wonderful. I only wish I could have come along and played as well! You need to make a west coast trip and we can sketch LA together!
